Ian Hudghton (Greens/EFA) ‒ The Kyoto Protocol is a vital tool in the fight against climate change and today's vote underlines the EU's commitment to fulfilling its international obligations. The EU's work is complemented by the efforts of individual nations and in this context it should be noted that my own country, Scotland, is now more than three-quarters of the way towards achieving its world-leading target of a 42 per cent reduction in greenhouse gases by 2020, with emissions falling 14 per cent between 2012 and 2013.
